Voucher specimens are collected to document the occurrence of rare species,
species of special interest, and species which are difficult to identify in the field.
Such specimens also serve to document the occurrence of species occurring in localities which
are poorly-known or under-collected.

A duplicate set of vascular plant specimens is being deposited in the
Herbier Marie-Victorin

Vascular plants identifications
are being carried out, and verified, by Project botanists, and experts at the Université de Montréal,
with the assistance of selected colleagues from around the world [including: George Argus, Canadian Museum of Nature [retired] (Salix), J. G.
Chmielewski, Slippery Rock University, Pennsylvania (Antennaria), and A. E. Schuyler, Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia (Scirpus)].

Charophyte identifications are being
carried out by Project team expert Henry Mann, of Sir Wilfred Grenfell College, Memorial University of Newfoundland.
